adj. spohn torque arm

i installed an adjustable torque arm from spohn and was wondering how do i adjust it. i have a reading of -2 on the flat part of the torque arm that bolts to the diff and i have a -2 on the driveshaft. i was told to add these fiqures up which gives me a -4. they say not to run more than -2. anyone know how i should adjust it. should i make it -1 on the diff and hope that it changes the driveshave to -1 also.

Did you get any instructions with it? They have a procedure for adjusting. If not let me know and I can send them.

yes it did come with instructions but it was a little unclear on making adjustments. it said to measure the diveshaft angle and pinion angle than add them up. then they said that you shouldnt run more than -2*. when i add mine up i get a -4. question that i am having is that if i adjust it do i make the pinion at -1 hoping that the driveshaft will go to -1 also or is there another way to do it

Adjusting the torque arm will in turn adjust the angle of the DS as well, so try adjusting the TA and check to see where the DS is then....
